It's Wednesday! What's happening in the AME Library?

Our in-person Fall Scholastic Book Fair has come to a close, but the online book fair continues through November 8th!  Books make great holiday gifts, and your purchase benefits our library program and our scholars.  Click here to shop!

A big THANK YOU goes out to the volunteers who helped with our book fair parent event last Thursday!  The Leclercq, George, and Dancer families, along with our parent support specialist Jackie Cyriac, donated their time and talent while assisting Ms Margocs with setup, monitoring, and returning cases and books to the library.

Now that we've changed back from bookstore to library, we are having class visits again.  Here are this week's read-alouds and lessons:

Read-Alouds

PreK is thinking about feelings, and learning that we can have more than one at a time, as we listen to Theo's Mood by Maryann Cocca-Leffler.

Kindergarten classes are learning about fairy tales in class, and enjoying the bilingual The Three Billy Goats Buenos in the story castle:

First graders are also talking about fairy tales in their classes, so we are comparing Federico and the Wolf with the traditional Little Red Riding Hood story.  It's also an Armadillo Readers' Choice nominee:

Second grade classes are focusing on characters as Ms Margocs reads Saturday by Oge Mora, another Armadillo Readers' Choice book:

Lessons

Third through fifth grades are bringing their laptops to the library to practice logging in to MackinVIA and checking out ebooks using search limiters.  They do not count against our checkout limits in the library, so they are a great resource if you finish reading your books from the shelves, or can't find what you're looking for in our physical collection.

Our displays for the month of November include historical fiction, along with books on Thanksgiving, Diwali, Veterans Day, fall, food and families.

AND, we just received our first big book order of the school year--one hundred seventy-seven new books for our shelves!

Glad to have you back in the library this week, Dillo Readers!
